Dyfra is a round 12.3
I am down to 5' 6 1/2",,here I am about 5 months or so before the accident.
So depending on your ponies build..I would say yes, you can ride a 12.2.
As for people saying you look silly. Like them to go to Iceland and tell all the horsemen in that Nation, they look silly on their 12.2 to 13.3 hand Icelandics.Many are 6' tall Vikings. See what kind of response get. It would be priceless!!:D
